The New Romantic Graduation.

The Final 2 Outfits for the Recycled project.

My initial piece(pictured in the previous post) was reflecting 2 things. One - The New Romantic era that took place in the 1980’s and Two - An academical dress. I pursued this idea further. Taking inspiration from that era and questioning what it is about fashion that makes people “stare" ? - (New Romantic Philosphy - getting attention for what you're wearing... it's obviously not just limited to New Romanticism - but it was a major driving force.)

New Romanticism was a way of expression, a way of "wowing" people... So I thought it would be interesting to see how that expression could be translated into something as "boring" as an academical dress(that robe you wear when you graduate from university)

I started this blog in the first week of university to document my journey and to write about uni works and things that inspire me.
3 years on - it's still going strong. Now you can follow my progress into the "working world" of fashion and wherever I end up, or whatever I do, I'll be sure to write/bitch/cry/laugh about it on this blog.
